Limited Competition: Specific Pathogen Free Macaque Colonies to Support HIV/AIDS Research

Funds continuing breeding colonies of specific pathogen-free macaques that HIV and AIDS research depends on. Only existing colonies may apply.

Between cyclesNational Institutes of HealthUnited States

HIV and AIDS research leans on macaques, and not just any macaques. The animals have to be specific pathogen free โ€” clear of certain viruses that would otherwise confound results or put the people caring for them at risk. They also have to be genetically characterised for MHC class I type, because those genotypes strongly shape how a macaque's immune system responds to SIV, the virus used to modelโ€ฆ

Continuing support for specific pathogen-free macaque breeding colonies that supply HIV and AIDS research โ€” animals free of confounding viruses and genetically characterised for MHC class I type, previously funded under PAR-21-089 and PAR-18-669.
